Vancouver Committee Makes bucks for Olympic Pucks



BY: Brianna Burns

After watching Canada’s hockey team defeat the United States in the final, the Vancouver Olympic committee is auctioning off certain items from the number one team in the world.

Scoring the winning goal for Canada, Sydney Crosby is getting his jersey that he wore during the Olympics auctioned off for roughly $35,000.


An Ohio state resident has the puck from the overtime period of the gold-medal from the hockey game, which was $13,088. The tray that held the medals of the gold-medal winning men's hockey team sold for $4,990.

The committee is also using an online auction site to sell artwork, replica tickets, mascots and copies of their pitch book, including one signed by CEO John Furlong.
